Gapado Island, Jeju Smart Grid Project

Part of an ambitious smart grid project aimed at becoming 100% carbon free, the Jeju Provincial Government contracted Hyosung to construct an off-grid battery system on Gapado Island. Electricity is supplied by numerous wind turbines and a 1 MW (1 MWh) ESS that provides enough power to over 200 residents.
